OBJECTIVES 1. Academic Objectives (Study)
The Bible Institute offers only Bible and Bible-related courses in its standard two-year curriculum and in its electives which are designed for those able to handle additional academic work. We seek to instill within students a practical working knowledge of the Bible that will enable them to articulate and defend a biblical worldview. The specific objectives of the academic program are to provide students with: A. An understanding of the context, content and contribution of every book of the Bible. B. An understanding of all the basic doctrines of orthodox Christianity. C. An in-depth understanding of the major books of the Bible. D. Particular ministry skills in evangelism, discipleship, Bible study methodology, leadership, counseling, and biblical communication. Courses are taught by a dynamic combination of both resident and adjunct faculty who have distinguished themselves in their fields of expertise. Courses are structured to meet high academic standards and are recognized by most Bible colleges so that students can achieve their degree (Bachelor’s or Associate’s in Bible) from that Institution without interruption.
The above objectives are the specific focus of the Academic Department.
2. Spiritual Objectives (Life) In addition to the study of the Bible, the Bible Institute seeks to develop students’ character and life skills outside the classroom. Programs designed to enhance personal spiritual growth are an important part of the Bible Institute experience. Our specific objectives are to help every student to:
A. Develop a habit of daily devotional time in the Scriptures. B. Pursue personal godly character and corporate biblical community. C. Apply biblical principles of physical, emotional, and social wholeness to daily life.
A team of godly, compassionate men and women provide instruction, encouragement, and counsel in both formal and non-formal settings, helping students to deepen their relationship with the Lord and to demonstrate a loving concern for others.
The above objectives are the specific focus of the Student Life Department.
3. Functional Objectives (Ministry) Whether the Lord leads a student to the mission field, the ministry, a trade, a business, a profession, or any other field of endeavor, in the light of eternity, the most important issue is how effective that person is for the Lord. Effectiveness in Christian service is measured by the influence that is exerted in the lives of others to lead them to Christ or to help them toward spiritual maturity. Therefore, the Bible Institute seeks to nurture within students a passion for Christian ministry and to equip them to impact today’s society for Christ by involving them in meaningful ministry to others. Our specific objectives are to give every student the opportunity to:
A. Share the gospel with someone and/or counsel them about trusting Christ as their Savior. B. Use their natural abilities and spiritual gifts in service to others. C. Gain firsthand experience in missions.
The above objectives are the specific focus of the Ministries Department.
